SlamBall partners with ProhiBet to boost betting integrity monitoring
SlamBall added ProhiBet’s encrypted monitoring system in Las Vegas, a compliance move aimed at stopping prohibited betting by athletes, coaches and staff.
SlamBall is putting compliance ahead of hype as it deepens its betting-era profile. The league announced in Las Vegas that it had partnered with ProhiBet, using encrypted decentralized cross-monitoring and notification technology to safeguard integrity and comply with state-specific regulations.
The platform is meant to help prevent athletes, coaches, officials and administration from engaging in prohibited sports wagering. That is a meaningful step for a league built on speed, collisions and constant transition, where the pace of play and the smaller talent pool can make any integrity breach harder to absorb and easier to notice. In a sport like SlamBall, even a limited lapse could damage confidence with bettors, broadcasters and regulators.
Mason Gordon, SlamBall’s founder and CEO, framed the deal as a reinforcement of the league’s existing standards rather than a cosmetic add-on. SlamBall said it was doubling down on integrity monitoring by bringing in ProhiBet, signaling that the league wants its compliance structure to look as serious as its on-court spectacle. The message was clear: if SlamBall wants to grow as a modern property, it has to be built to withstand the scrutiny that comes with wagering.
The timing fits SlamBall’s broader reset. Gordon and Mike Tollin originally launched the league in 1999, and SlamBall returned in the summer of 2023 after roughly two decades away from the U.S. sports landscape. That comeback came with an exclusive two-year national broadcast partnership with ESPN for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, giving the league more than 40 hours of live programming across five weekends in 2023 alone. With that kind of visibility, integrity controls are no longer optional. They are part of the product.
ProhiBet itself sits within Secure Sports Solutions, the joint venture formed by U.S. Integrity and Odds On Compliance. Matt Heap was announced as ProhiBet’s managing director on April 12, 2023, bringing a background in sports regulation and investigations to a business built around prohibited-bettor monitoring. U.S. Integrity and Odds On Compliance later merged into Integrity Compliance 360, or IC360, which serves the sports betting, gaming and iGaming sectors.
The SlamBall deal also shows how much the wagering market has matured around alternative sports. UFC, Circa Sports and the Professional Fighters League have all adopted ProhiBet, placing SlamBall inside a broader movement toward standardized integrity tools. For a league trying to prove it is more than a trampoline novelty, that alignment matters. It suggests SlamBall sees compliance infrastructure not as a footnote, but as part of its bid for credibility with sportsbooks, regulators, sponsors and viewers.
